"A recruitment notice? A reward notice? What are those?"
Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, the young reporter seemed a little flustered for the first time.
As one of the official media, the Yiyuan News Agency had certain requirements regarding the scope of their reports and couldn't casually place advertisements. If Wang Yu was too unreasonable and spoke carelessly, there was nothing he could do!
"Don't worry, it's just a couple of sentences to mention me. My auto factory welcomes masters and skilled workers from all over the country and from all walks of life, as long as they have a special skill or unique craftsmanship. If they have true talent and skill, they'll be handsomely compensated with generous wages and preferential treatment.
"Also, I welcome challengers. If you're confident in your craft or skills, feel free to challenge. If you win, you can take home a huge bonus!"
Wang Yu said with a smile, expressing his thoughts.
Hearing him say this, the young reporter breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was just like this, then reporting it wouldn't be a problem. It could be considered as including the interviewees' thoughts and aspirations.
Then, the other reporters around also stepped forward to interview Wang Yu. They didn't have as many strict rules as the Yiyuan News Agency; as long as there was enough information to dig into and report, they were more than willing.
In fact, in their professional minds, after artistic processing, a series of passion-stirring articles and sentences had already been simulated!
The inspiring young factory director, a legendary life story of starting from scratch at the lowest point... Well, even though it had only been a few months so far, that didn't matter.
Ostracized by society and his family, he always stuck to his principles and sincerely studied the techniques passed down by his ancestors.
In the end, as an unknown figure, he challenged the world's strongest Wa-da Steel Company, ultimately forcing them to bow down and submit!
...
With so much material to explore, any single piece could become a major news story!
He never expected that this task, which he initially thought would be a chore to go through the motions, would turn out this way. Under pressure from Wa-da, who was using their connections everywhere, the major media outlets had casually sent some peripheral or less important intern reporters to just go through the motions.
When these reporters came, they were all inwardly cursing Wang Yu's ancestors.
What right did a small county factory director like him have to challenge a super large company like Wa-da? Such an overestimation of his abilities, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, was just asking for trouble!
But those Wa-da brats... cough cough, little kids.
They were relentlessly escalating the situation, making it a big deal, and causing them to travel far and wide to suffer for this assignment.
But now... they were still inwardly cursing Wang Yu's ancestors, only this time their target had shifted to Wang Jinhui and the second uncle's group.
Thank you for providing such rich and excellent material!
Also, those Wa-da guys probably never expected to shoot themselves in the foot, allowing Wang Yu to stage a stunning reversal and completely crush them.
This, in turn, became news and credit for these reporters, like a pie falling from the sky. How could they not be excited?
For a time, the reporters surrounded Wang Yu, bombarding him with questions.
Wang Yu was somewhat helpless. He hadn't wanted to deal with these reporters, which was why he and Wu Lingling had rushed back immediately.
But he hadn't expected so many people to block his doorstep. If it were just one or two, it would be fine, but so many at once, there was no doubt it was from Secretary Yang, who shall remain nameless...
He could only reluctantly respond to the reporters, choosing to answer questions on less important topics. At this moment, he suddenly missed Li Mo. If that guy were here, he could probably skillfully turn the interview into a press conference for advertisements, right?
While Wang Yu was being surrounded and questioned, Wu Lingling stood by, smiling and silent.
Such a scene was nothing to her; she had no interest in being in the spotlight anyway.
Wang Yu noticed Wu Lingling's behavior and knew she didn't want to be in the limelight. Therefore, when topics related to her came up, he directly ignored and skipped them.
The reporters were also very perceptive. Seeing Wang Yu's reaction, they stopped pressing further. After all, media professionals in this era still had some professional ethics and a bottom line; they wouldn't casually report on rumors or gossip.
It was lively around Wang Yu, but Wang Jinhui and the second uncle and their group were awkwardly standing nearby.
They didn't know whether to stay or go, and could only watch everything with grim expressions.
"Hmph, just luck!"
Wang Jinhui gritted her teeth, her face full of disdain, but her sour tone was evident to everyone. Why wasn't she the one receiving all this attention?
Thinking of this, Wang Jinhui became even more determined to find a way to completely sabotage Wang Yu's cooperation project with the Bus General Factory!
...
The large group of reporters fussed around for most of the day, and it wasn't until almost evening, as dusk approached, that they finally left, each satisfied.
After interviewing Wang Yu, they also conducted interviews with the local residents in Jiangyang County. They collected even more stories about Wang Yu's deeds, which made the reporters even more excited, all planning to rush back and write their articles overnight.
"Don't these guys know they're hungry?"
Wang Yu chuckled and touched his stomach. After such a long time, his stomach was empty and rumbling.
"Hey, I say, you were quite the star just now, weren't you?"
Wu Lingling said with a smile, holding a bowl of tofu pudding.
She had quietly gone to the tofu pudding stall auntie on the street while no one was paying attention and had already eaten two bowls of tofu pudding to tide herself over.
"Star? My face is stiff from smiling."
Wang Yu rubbed his face with his hands, somewhat helplessly. "I'd rather deal with the people from Wa-da than these media folks. It's too troublesome!"
"You just bask in your glory. Others wish they had this opportunity!"
Wu Lingling pouted, handing the tofu pudding in her hand to Wang Yu. "Have some to tide you over. Don't starve yourself. Also, I have some news for you."
"Alright, you're the only one who cares about me. Those reporters didn't even ask if I'd eaten." Wang Yu pouted, taking the tofu pudding. "Why is it savory? I'm a sweet person... Also, what news do you have?"
As he spoke, Wang Yu slurped down the tofu pudding.
"Nonsense, of course, it's because I like savory flavors. If you dare, don't eat it."
Wu Lingling snorted,
"I'm just telling you, I accidentally made a little money by selling your information just now."
"What information of mine is worth selling? How much did you make?"
Wang Yu asked with amusement.
"Well, about 200,000."
"Pfft!"
Wang Yu, who was eating tofu pudding, suddenly spat out the tofu pudding in his mouth.
"What did you say?"
